What is Tron doing to restore USDD’ Dollar Peg?
Firstly, Tron DAO Reserve has received 700 million USDC to defend its USDD peg. Now, its USDD collateralization rate is nearly 300%. Here is the link to the transaction: https://tronscan.io/#/transaction/8e2a0f8581815608272ba02ce07de90cf5c6362a739cce07df4e158101302eab
Fun Fact: It only cost $0.52 to send $700M USDC. Below is the screenshot of the same transaction.
Also, Justin Sun tweeted that, Funding rate of shorting #TRX on @binance is negative 500% APR. @trondaoreserve will deploy 2 Billion USD to fight them. I don’t think they can last for even 24 hours. Short squeeze is coming.
On the other hand, TRON DAO Reserve has increased its USDC supply on Tron to 650,000,000 USDC. Currently, USDC supply on TRON has reached $2.5 billion.
